Temperature control and sterilising
Energy Efficient Front Loading Autoclaves Lower Running Costs
May 03 2019
Horizontal cylindrical chamber autoclaves manufactured by Priorclave are among the most energy efficient laboratory autoclaves currently available. Such is their potential for savings on energy and water usage the Priorclave QCS range of laboratory and research autoclaves are much in demand across diverse industrial sectors such as food, drink, dairy, pharmaceutical, agricultural, education, healthcare as well as numerous research and educational institutes within the public sector where stringent budgetary control is essential.
The QCS100 litre energy-efficient laboratory and research grade autoclave is smallest is the range offering capacities from 100 to 200 litres available as standard or with vacuum options as well as a choice of steam-generation systems. Each features 500mm diameter chamber, believed to be largest currently available for this style of autoclave. It makes them ideally suited for laboratories looking specifically for an autoclave with a heavy load capacity but have limited available lab floor space.
With a low loading height, wide door swing allowing easy loading of heavy loads from a trolley, advanced programming for simple to more complex sterilising tasks, effective use of power and water plus superb operator safety standards the QCS front-loading steriliser range is one of the safest and most efficient autoclaves available.
Precise control of the sterilising process is made easy using single push-buttons on the Tactrol® microprocessor controller. This advanced unit allows easy adjustment of sterilising temperature and time for simple cycles to fully featured multi-programme operation and with printed records. The powerful microprocessor controller gives unrivalled flexibility and monitoring, automating the sterilising process and with features to assist in autoclave management, the powerful TACTROL® enables other tasks to be undertaken secure in the knowledge that sterilisation is proceeding safely and efficiently. In addition to guiding laboratory personnel through the simple programming, the intuitive Tactrol® microprocessor also keeps a log of the sterilising cycle data such as temperature, pressure and time.
Only to be expected from one of Britain’s leading autoclave design and manufacturing specialist, these sterilisers are packed with safety features that include a single-handed, door opening mechanism that only releases when temperatures and pressures are at pre-set safe levels. There is also a secure key-lock switch which governs access to parameter settings, the benefits of manual key-switch make accessing each different level much simpler and faster.
To help prevent cross contamination in a laboratory all QCS front loading autoclave incorporates epoxy coated panels and frame members treated with an antimicrobial agent that is effective against many bacteria and fungi including MRSA, E.coli, Listeria, Legionella, Campylobacter, Salmonella and Pseudomonas.
